Holding hands.

Chapter 12

I slowly woke up, still far away from Brent. He was still sleeping, hiding his face in the pillow. I moved a little closer to him and laid my hand on his cheek and felt the warmt from his skin. I felt tear roll down my cheek. 'He is so beautiful' I thought. I moved a strand of hair and slowly moved closer and kissed his forehead as soft as I could. He grunted and I pulled away. I decided to go up and make breakfast. I made a bowl of cereals and sat down at the table. I took up my phone and watched my instagram like if it was my morning paper. I heard how the bedroom floor creaked and Brent came out of the bedroom with messy hair and sleepy eyes.

"Morning.." He said with his rusty morning voice.

"Hi.." I said. The stiffness were all around us. Brent took out a bowl from the cabinet and poured cereals and milk in it, then he sat down at the table too. We ate in silence before I heard how he put his spoon down and walked over to me. He took my head in his hands and kissed me.

"Sorry.." He said as he pulled away. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes.

"Brent.." I said but he kissed me again.

"I'll make it up to you. I promise." He said, looking deeply into my eyes. I just smiled at him.

I put my make up on and got everything I needed for school. I told Brent goodbye and went to school.

Jonathan was sitting on a bench outside of school waiting for me. Like always.

"How are we doing today?" He asked me while getting up giving me a hug.

"Better." I said.

"So what's new?" He asked my while we started walking inside.

"Well.. Me and Brent hade a fight yesterday." I said.

"About what?" He asked.

"That's not important. What's important is that we are good now."

"Well that's great." He said.

We went to our lockers and found out that math was the first lesson. None of us liked math even though Jonathan was really good at it. After math it english and then there were lunch.

The lunch is the best thing of the school day. But not today since it was some old fish that was from last week. Jonathan and I were sitting together, picking in our food.

"It feels empty without Leah." Jonathan said to break the silence. I sighed.

"I know." I said and looked down at the food.

"I miss her too."He said. I looked up at him.

"I mean you two are my only friends. And now one of them is gone. It's not easy." He said. I laid my hand over his.

"I know I might not be the best one to talk to since I start crying just at the thought of it. But if you want me to, I will try to listen." I said. He responded with a smile.

The lesson after was history. I wasn't even sure what we were talking about. But it wasn't so hard to guess. I mean we are probably talking about some man who died hundred of years ago. But I did my best to take notes anyway.

"... And in 1672 the president decided to..."

I was sitting by the window on the second floor. I was so bored it felt like I was gonna fall asleep. But then something hit the window. I looked out but didn't see anything. I tried to get my focus back but something hit the window again. I looked out and this time something catches my eye. Brent. He was standing there with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, throwing stones at the window. Like a Romeo in jeans waiting for me to come down.

"Excuse me? Can I go use the restroom?" I asked my teacher.

"Of course. Be back in ten minutes." She said. I took my books almost ran out of the building.

"What are you doing?" I asked Brent when I reached him.

"I wanted to take you out on a picnic." He said.

"Are you sure? I mean.. I'm supposed to be at the lesson right now." I asked nervously.

"I'm just gonna steal you for one hour and then you'll be back. I promise." He said and took my hand and kissed it.

"So.. Are you in?" He asked.

"I guess so.." I said. He gave me the bouquet of flowers.

"Well this way then." He said and took my arm

He took me to place by the lake behind the school. He put a blanket out and let me sit down. He sat down beside me and started to pick out some sandwiches.

"I hope you can forgive me." He said and faced me. I looked at his face. I swear, if he isn't an angel, then I can't believe that they exist.

"Yesterday I was an Idiot. A real crap bag. And I am so sorry." He started. I looked into his eyes.

"You really don't have to do this. You don't have to explain." I said.

"Cassandra, please, I want to." He said. I gave him a look but decided to let him finish.

"I want you to know that you can trust me. That I am truly sorry. You know, I'm not perfect and it wouldn't surprise me if I said something stupid like this again. But I hope you know that I won't mean it. 'Cause.. I am stupid. But you'll never find someone who cares about you more than I do. I choose you. And I will keep doing that over and over again. The thing is.. That I want you. I'm yours. I'm only yours. And you can do whatever you want to me..."

I couldn't help but kiss him. I didn't let him finish. I don't know how I ever could have been mad at him. This angel who is telling me that he is mine. And I know that I am his. And I don't want anyone else to have me as theirs.

"Thank you." I said as we broke the kiss. He looked confused.

"For what?" He asked.

"For letting me being yours." I told him.

Brent where greeting me in the hall when I came home from school that day.

"How was your day?" He said and kissed my lips.

"It was great. Especially our little picnic. I wouldn't stand to eat whatever it was they served at school. How about you?" I said as I took of my shoes.

"Not much. I have been waiting for you to come home." He said and put his arms around me, leading me into the living room. He sat down on the couch, letting me sit in his lap.

"I love you." I said and kissed him and he kissed me back.

"You know, my friend told me about this guy who is having a party this weekend. He goes at your school. Do you want to go? I know Jonathan is going." Brent said.

"You know I'm not a party person." I said.

"I know. But we can be there for awhile, take a few drinks and share some laughs and then we will go home." He said.

"I've never been on one of those big parties. I don't know how to behave." I said.

"Please. For me? I promise we won't be there for too long." He said and I considered it.

"Fine." I said. Brent got a smile on his lips and kissed me.
